POLICE BRUTALITY IS REAL IN CANADA - Police brutality has had a long history in Canada, especially against Indigenous groups. Over the last century, indigenous people have been the main victims of police murder and unnecessarily violent arrests. Canada's Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said its officers fatally shot 61 people across Canada between 2007 and 2017. In 22 of those cases, the memo said, the victim was Indigenous. Twelve deaths, or 20 per cent of the overall total, took place on a reserve or in an Indigenous community. Several Indigenous people were also killed “off-reserve” – in such cities as Yellowknife, Burnaby, B.C., and Golden, B.C.
